Trying to get back into the groove

Another post from me! And it hasn't been a month or more since the last! xD

So as you may know I recently moved back into my parents house. It's been about 2 weeks since the move and I feel like I still haven't recovered from it. It's strange because I feel really different, not the same. I don't want to say I'm depressed but I certainly do feel "low." 

Ever since I moved I've been completely drained of artistic energy. I just did not have the power or spark to do any work. I don't know why but trying to get something done just took forever to do. I sort of felt "worthless." I just didn't feel like myself. 

I think it came from a couple of things that happened since I moved back, i.e, a few family issues, no money (neg. balance), cold weather, and just yesterday I felt my first cavity in my teeth in like forever. I'm starting to think moving back was a bad idea. As much as I missed Espanola I really, really miss Albuquerque. I want to move back down there so much. 

We're halfway through the year and all I can say is I'm ready for it to be over. This year has been one of the worst in my life and I just want to start over fresh. 

Though I don't know why I have to wait for the year to end to start over. I should just do it right now...

ANYWAYS-

Enough of my emo-ness!

I may have been down in the dumps but I think I'm starting to come back. 

Moving on is a sketch featuring JPup and two brothers. Two brothers? Which two brothers? Why, its Chris and Martin Kratt---the Kratt Brothers!  :D

I have to thank them and their show "Wild Kratts." It really cheered me up a lot. This sketch is some fan art of the show, with Martin in his creature power suit, using some demon creature power. >x) 

The next sketch is a PONY sketch! :D (have to be feeling better if I'm drawing Ponies!)

 Here we have an anthro version of (an older) Pipsqueak. At first I really didn't care for him but recently he's been getting popular, and the more I see him the more I'm staring to like him. xD Not sure why but Discord is also there behind him. Also, Rumble (Thunderlane's lil'brother) makes an appearance next to Pip in the bottom left sketch.

And finally we have more Biggens-ness.

I got the idea today (while watching some preening flamingos on Wild Kratts xD) of doing a pic of Elijah being forced to preen his wings. I wasn't sure how to do it so I made a few different scenes. In the end I'm going to do the bottom left one, with Biggs holding Elly down and Jumeiras plucking away.

Welp that's all for now! 

We'll see you on the creature trail ; )

Out and In

So BGN moved back up to Espanola over the weekend. Moving is always a fun thing to do right? RIGHT? xD

Especially if the room you're moving into looked like this. I loved my old messy room but it was time to clean it up a bit, only because I needed to make sure all my stuff from Rio Rancho would fit in there.

And so here it is today. Slightly cleaner yet somehow packed wall to wall with even more crap. xD Oh well. 

At least I still get to wake up to exposed fiber glass in the ceiling. :D

And my old computer desk is a little cleaner too. Thats all for now! ; )

When it rains, it turtles

Well surprise surprise! Look who it is! It's been a while since we've had an update or sorts. So lets fix that! And just how will we fix that? Why, with PONY of course! :D

So to start off, we have a new character, named Brae-Ein. He will be making an appearance in a new little comic I'm working on that will also be featuring me!

 With me being my usual self, on my epic quest to grope a horse. I may just do it this time! 

Moving on we have an interesting sketch book. Anyone happen to know who it may belong too? ;D

This book came from my buddy Unktehila (aka BearPaws ). I'll be filling up his custom sketchbook with lots ol' Iksar tomfoolery (tomfoolery that you can only find with BGN xD).

And to finish off today's post we have some pics of a turtle that lives in our backyard. The turtle only comes out when it rains and we've been getting some rainstorms this month (our monsoon season is well under way). He was out on our front porch yesterday scooting around. Our Kitty Wally didn't seem to interested strangely enough. (must know its that rock with legs that doesn't do anything xD)

Thats all for today! Hopefully we'll see some more posts soon!

Shopping for calibrations

So BGN went grocery shopping this morning, and look who sneaked into one of my bags!

Why its Mr. Garrus from Mass Effect! :D I found him at Hastings this weekend but I didn't have money to buy him right away. So I hid him behind Miranda so no one would see him. Luckily he was still there this morning when I went to get him! :D Except Miranda was gone and replaces with Mordin... :0

Oh well! I don't care about the others! I just happy I got him. Now he and Grunt can keep me company on my desk! :D

Or he can hang out with Braeburn too. :D

F-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-formatting!

Old blog...

New Blog...

Looks good...I just wish I could center/format the blog title text (text over the image on top) BUT IT WON'T LET ME >:V

Oh well....maybe I'll just get a tumblr account. xD

New Stuff

Welp, looks like BGN got a few new things. :D

I got both a new phone and a new computer this week. My computer was my own gift to me and my phone was a birthday gift from my mom. :D (Aren't moms the best :3 ). So far I've been enjoying my phone more than my computer. (Mostly because my computer is kinda letting me down. D: I got it to do streams off of and so far is not doing a good job).

I love my phone though. I was really doubtful of getting a smartphone at first but I figured I would have to get one eventually. And oh my gosh I don't know why I didn't get one sooner. xD

Whats so nice is I can surf the internet on it. :D I can totally check all my emails and messages before I even get out of bed! OH GOD I feel so lazy now. xD

I'm sure going to miss my old phone though (if only for its superior batter life xD 3 days on my Samsung Convoy vs. 1 Day or less on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus) 

That makes Fergie go "Ehhhhhh....."

Cruizn' down Memory Lane

So, BGN went on a little trip up to Espanola yesterday. :D

I went back to my parents home to get a few things to bring back down to Rio Rancho. I mostly went to get my SimCity 4 Rush Hour disc but I did get a few other things. xD However, there were some things that I wanted to bring that didn't fit in my car >:

For Example, my first El Camino! D: I MISS IT (even if doesn't run well xD).

and my big FAT KITTY LIYA! Oh shes sooooo fat xD She's such a snugglely kitty too.

Some other things that I would like to bring are all my old sketches. Man, I have a BUTT LOAD of them. xD And they're just laying all over my old room too so I need to do something with them.

So those were a few of my more recent sketches. Now, the older, the good stuff (or horrible stuff xD), the HOLY GRAIL of BGN, is in this Office Depot Box. In this box you'll find all my first sketches of all my characters and my first attempts of drawing anthro characters. Its strange but I really like all these old sketches waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than all my newer work. xD

Whenever I get a chance I'm going to bring them down and scan every one in. Maybe even repost a few of them. There's some really good stuff in there that I'd like to come back to.


So thats all for today. For now I'm going to go play SimCity 4. :D
